Carew

Famous quotes containing the word carew:

    Then give me leave to love, & love me too
    Not with designe
    To raise, as Loves curst Rebels doe,
    When puling Poets whine,
    Fame to their beauty, from their blubbr’d eyn.
    —Thomas Carew (1589–1639)

    And here the precious dust is layd;
    Whose purely temper’d Clay was made
    So fine, that it the guest betray’d.

    Else the soule grew so fast within,
    It broke the outward shell of sinne,
    And so was hatch’d a Cherubin.
    —Thomas Carew (1589–1639)

    I press not to the quire, nor dare I greet
    The holy place with my unhallowed feet;
    My unwashed Muse pollutes not things divine,
    Nor mingles her profaner notes with thine;
    Here humbly at the porch she listening stays,
    And with glad ears sucks in thy sacred lays.
    —Thomas Carew (1589–1639)
